[Throwback Thursday] Mo To Tha, E To Tha!



So I just almost hyperventilated looking at old episodes of Moesha on youtube! OMG this was and still is my absoulte all time favorite show in the world right along with Sister Sister. When I lived in Virginia Beach back in '08, reruns of Moesha used to come on Noggin and I literally used to record each one every single day and go home and watch them. No matter how many times I had seen the reruns, I still watched Moesha every single day lol. At the time I was like 19 and you would think the show had just come out the way I was addicted to it.

I used to do the same with Sister Sister. It would come on every morning when I was getting ready for work and school in the past few years, and I would watch every single episode. These two shows were my abosulte favorites when I was younger, so when they started coming back on tv as reruns when I got older, I was estatic. Well now I'm back at square one because Moesha doesn't come on at all, and Sister Sister only comes on the gospel channel on Saturday mornings.

For #ThrowbackThursday I decided to do something different and post one of my favorite episodes of Moesha. In this episode she had snuck off to a pajama party with her friends and as usual she ended up getting caught. I swear Frank and Dee used to stay on Mo, she couldn't get away with SHAT! Lol and I love Kim and Neicy to pieces, they were so funny! There's also an appearance in this episode from a young Usher.. he was so cute!

Check out the full episode below, broken down into two parts. Did you used to be a big Moesha fan? And am I the only one STILL mad at how they just cut the show with a cliff hanger for an ending? #salty lol

[Fashion Files] Dress Like Draya



Call me crazy, but I just love Draya! When she first appeared on the scene, I had my doubts about her because of the stories centering around her leaving her son to fend for himself while she traveled. But after seeing her on Basketball Wives LA and following on twitter, the girl is a trip lol. It's really hard to not like her personality.

A week or two ago, she was spotted partying it up at Vanquish in ATL sporting magenta suede pumps, thigh high tights, a black leather mini, and a YSL t-shirt. As I was reading the blogs, I noticed that lots of people weren't feeling Draya's outfit at all but I actually thought it was fly! For some reason I love to wear black when I go out, and her black and white combo is hitting in my eyes! I love how she threw in the hot pink shoes, they set the total outfit off very well and added just the right amount of color needed.

Below I've pieced together a similar look which is probably much cheaper than what Draya is wearing. Of course you can find similiar pieces out there for even less than what I posted, this is just to give you a general idea of how to turn it into your own. You can check it out below and let me know what you think! Are you feeling this look?

Bossy Linx: Lala's Cosmetic Line & More



I try to steer away from posting constant celebrity gossip on here because this is far from a gossip blog. My main purpose was to focus on women in general as far as fashion, makeup, music etc. However, I do like to post different celebrity stories on here from time to time to keep you guys in the loop.

On that note, below there are a few links from some of my favorite bloggers with different pieces of info and gossip that I found interesting. I visit these sites regularly for my work entertainment and you might want to add them to your favorites as well. Check out the links below!

[Nail Files] Ka'oir Cosmetics Nail Lacquer



I'm not sure if you all remember but last month I did a post on Ka'oir Lipstick by Keyshia Dior, well now the video vixen has her own nail lacquer under the same brand. She just launched her nail polish right before Christmas, and currently has a special running where you can get 3 for $25.99. If you don't want the bundle, then each bottle is $9.99 a piece. All of the colors stand out to me, especially the brighter colors as pictured above.

I definitely respect Keyshia's hustle being that she started this brand herself and continues to expand it as her clientele grows. She went from making lipstick and lip glosses to adding a line of nail lacquer and tank tops. From what I read in her tweets, she will also plan on launching a line of eyelashes with her brand as well. Now if that's not a boss then I don't know what is!

Check out the different colors in her nail polish line below and let us know what you think! Will you be buying? Make sure you check out her website http://www.kaoir.com/ if you're interested in purchasing anything.

SN: Keyshia Dior inspires me to make bigger moves... now watch me work! *hits the flex* lol

[Fashion Files] Heel-less Platforms



Here lately a few different celebrities have been spotted lately rocking what I like to call "heel-less heels". While the trend is far from new, as Lady Gaga has been wearing these for awhile now, they caught my eye recently after Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland were spotted in a tribal printed pair by Guiseppe Zanotti (pictured above). I thought theirs were very unique and I would probably rock them to the heel fell off LOL! #childish

Like I said these aren't new at all in the fashion world, but I found a pair online at NastyGal.com for $82.60. I think that's a pretty decent price for a pair of shoes that are hard to come by. As of right now, I doubt if there are many shoes with this design that you can get for a good price. So I wanted to help my readers out and point you to the cheaper version if you're willing to experiment with these!

First of all the trick is mastering "the walk" in them. Once you get that down packed, I think you should be good to go lol.... but even Lady Gaga took a tumble in them before so "break a leg" lol.

[Fashion Files] Jessica Simpson Fringe Vest



Vests and blazers are my favorite jacket style clothing to have in my wardrobe because they can be placed over just about anything and will almost instantly make your outfit stand out more. Whenever I go shopping, I try finding different pieces that really stand out to me to add to my wardrobe. When I shop for pieces individually versus complete outfits at once, I find that it's much easier because you will always have pieces that go with different clothes and accessories and you won't have to match everything up together.

Take this fringe vest for instance... I have brown military boots already in my closet and I have plenty of button down shirts that would look cute under this vest. The vest is by Jessica Simpson and is currently on sale for $39.99. It's a very basic piece, yet it has it's own little attributes that make it stand out on it's own. If you pair this up with a ordinary outfit, it will definitely add some flavor to your look.

You can check out a couple of pics below of myself in a vest that I have that's similar to this one. I like how the one above has fringes all the way around the bottom though. Let us know if you're feeling this, and if you're interested you can find the vest here. This goes to show that you don't have to spend alot of money to look like a boss :)

Change Comes Eventually

Celebs on NYE
Happy New Year bosses and boss chics! I hope everyone brought it in safely and in good spirits. With the new year comes constant talk of changing for the better, changing ways, changing habits... All you see on Facebook and twitter statuses is change. On the contrary, you also see people posting about how we shouldn't wait until the new year to make changes that we know already should be made, which I totally agree with.

Since many make New Year's resolutions that they plan to stick to every year, I think this holiday is the one that is most centered around change and self reflection. But what I think we fail to realize is that we have to actually want to change in order to make it happen. How many times have you made a new year's resolution only to break it after a few weeks or months into the year? I do it all the time. More than anything it's because we're not actually ready for the change that we commit to, or we're not serious about getting there.
